[ He says it as though "they" are the same as they ever were, as if his disposition change does not fundamentally change who he is or was. In one sense, that's not the case, because the change in attitude renders Gilgamesh's priorities utterly different and incompatible with Lucy's, making them enemies where they had previously been allies... but in another sense, as she might now have noticed, he is still Gilgamesh in a way that the other "corrupted" people are not exactly themselves. ]

[ The best news for Lucy is that he's not going all out against her. Even if Gilgamesh has come to have a certain respect for this woman, he does not think she, a mere human, can successfully hold against him, a Servant -- even if he is composed of Bios now rather than mana, he still has his Noble Phantasm(s). Really, he could open his vault and launch hundreds, thousands of weapons, but instead, he's flinging them almost casually. Lazily. Feline-like. Which is another side of Gilgamesh's demeanor. ]
And perhaps you will have a chance to show me what you are capable of, hm?
[ If there's anything Gilgamesh respects, after all, it's a Worthy Adversary. ]
